Hamas claims capture of Israeli soldier, Israel denies
The Israeli army rejected Hamas's claim of capturing an Israeli soldier in an ambush during a gunfight in the Gaza Strip on Saturday (May 25).
Abu Obeida, spokesman for the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, said that "all their members were killed, wounded or taken prisoner," in a shootout within a tunnel in the Jabalia camp.
Hamas broadcast aired images of a soldier being dragged along the ground, depicting him as Israeli. However, Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) could not authenticate the images immediately.
"Clarifies that there is no incident in which a soldier was abducted," the Israeli army said in a telegram message.
